You guys saw it, McConnell’s shot at the buzzer lifted the Philadelphia 76ers to a 98-97 win over the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. Joel Embiid, who led a dramatic come-from-behind rally, made McConnell’s head look like a ping pong ball when he clenched his massive hands around his neck in celebration.
Shirley Temple’s for everyone!
